Whatever gave him that idea?
This rant during a recent Daily Mail interview, as it happens.
"The devil is very strong at the minute, very strong, and I believe the end is near. The bible tells me the end is near. The world tells me the end is near. Just a short few years, I reckon, away from being finished.
"Abusing the planet, the wars in the Middle East, the famines, the earthquakes, the natural disasters, all these things are talked about 2000 years ago before they even happened. Prophesised. So now it’s all coming true…
"There are only three things that need to be accomplished before the devil comes home: one of them is homosexuality being legal in countries, one of them is abortion and the other one’s paedophilia. Who would have thought in the 50s and 60s that those first two would be legalised?
"When I say paedophiles can be made legal, that sounds like crazy talk doesn’t it? But back in the 50s and early 60s, for them first two to be made legal would have been looked on as a crazy man again. If I would have told you 120 years ago, that a 1000-tonne aeroplane is going to float through the sky, a piece of steel — ludicrous."
And Klitschko's response in full...
"He is bipolar. He has mental issues for sure.
"Some comments that come out of his mouth do not work well with me. I'm not commenting on some of them. I will answer those with my fists in the ring, the way I have done many times before.
"I have stopped being surprised by Tyson Fury. He is bizarre."
The two fighters clash in Dusseldorf on November 28th. Gonna be interesting!
